Grounding Card #9 in The Conscious Living Wisdom Cards (Special Moms\u2019 Edition)<\/p>\n

This is one of the most supportive and empowering tools you can teach your child. When a child learns to connect to the earth the develop the ability to manage their own energetic experience – fear, anxiety, stress, worry or even feeling hyper or out of control. Talk to your child about the power that connecting to the earth holds and introduce a few different ways that they can connect – including just going outside and walking in the grass barefoot, or laying on the ground itself.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t explored grounding yourself, you might want to play with it yourself before you introduce it to your child. I find it’s always helpful to understand what you are offering, before you offer it.<\/p>\n

Here is my Conscious Living Wisdom Card text for Grounding:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>For You<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we are grounded, we have an energetic connection to the Earth that helps our body know that we are safe. The body responds to this sense of safety by experiencing calm, focus and balance.\u00a0 When we are grounded, it is then that our own Spirit, or higher self, can be present within us and it is then that we \"\"<\/a>can live life consciously.\u00a0 If you are spinning your wheels or jumping from one activity or thought to another, now would be a good time to check the state of your grounding.\u00a0 Grounding is simple: Imagine a cord or a beam of light that connects to your tail bone and extends all the way down to the center of the earth.\u00a0 This grounding cord links your physical body to the earth and will help connect your Spirit and your body, in turn creating focus and balance.<\/p>\n

For Your Child<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safety is an important factor in a child\u2019s life.\u00a0 A sense of safety enables children to move through this world and explore it.\u00a0 If you make your child aware of grounding and give him a simple tool to achieve it, you will empower him to take control of his energy and create the internal sense of safety that he needs.\u00a0 With a young child, you can use a playful process:\u00a0 Ask him to imagine that roots are growing from his feet into the ground, like a tree.\u00a0 If your child is older, teach him the grounding tool described in the For You text.\u00a0 A grounded child will not only feel safer, but he will also feel more confident and have a greater ability to focus.<\/p>\n
